Summary: Wonderful Short Stories that all have a meaning....
Review: This is the second book by the Author, Lorena Manuel that I have read. This was, by far, the most interesting. This book consists of 6 short Gothic stories, and retold folktales that happen to have a gay theme.

I found the stories to be very good, all fairly short (about 20 pages, on average, each). But all with a very good underlying meaning. I found myself having a good time trying to figure out the `life lesson', or `underlying meaning' associated with each.

The stories are:

The Knight
The Romance of the Rose
The Glass Coffin
Guardian Angel
The Twilight Gods
Out of the Depths

Each of the stories have a key character that is trying to either accomplish or learn something important, and that character just happens to be Gay. These stories are not about being Gay for the most part, like in real life, it just happens to be something about the characters.

It is really hard to describe this book and each of the stories as they are all very good, and it would take a lot of time to describe each.

I can only say, after reading hundreds of `Gay Themed' books, this was up there near the top and is highly recommended.

Thanks Lorena Manuel for creating a great new `Gay Themed' book that is good for all ages.
